A History of Landford in Wiltshire Appendix 3 – Other families connected with the Eyres of Newhouse, Brickworth, Landford and Bramshaw The genealogical details of the various families connected with the Eyre family have been compiled from various sources using information taken from the Internet. Not all sources are 100% reliable and there are conflicting dates for births, marriages and deaths, particularly for the earlier generations. Subsequently the details given in this account may also perpetuate some of those errors. The information contained in this document is therefore for general information purposes only and whilst I have tried to ensure that the information given is correct, I cannot guaranty the accuracy or reliability of the sources used or the information contained in this document. Anyone using this website for family reasons needs to be aware of this.

Having delved into the history of the Eyre family (see Appendix 2), it created an interest in the families with whom they intermarried. Consequently the purpose of this document is to provide further details of those family connections. The Rogers of Bryanston, Dorset In 1567 Thomas Eyre (1535-1628) married Elizabeth Rogers (1549-1612), daughter of John Rogers (1523- bef 1565) of Poole, Dorset and step-daughter of Giles Escourt. Thomas was the forefather of several branches of the Eyre family settled in southeast Wiltshire and also Ireland. The Rogers ancestors are as follows.

Robert (c1550-c1601) Elizabeth Webb secondly m.1574, Giles Estcourt s. Sir Edward Estcourt (c1575-bef 1608) d. Honor d. Barbara d. Mary The Bayntuns of Bromham, Wiltshire In 1577 Sir William Eyre (1556-1629) married Anne, the daughter of Sir Edward Bayntun of Bromham. Details relating to the Bayntun family were taken from the website www.bayntun-history.com , where much more detail about the family can be obtained. However, there is some confusion and contradictory evidence regarding the exact genealogy between Nicholas Bayntun (1382-1422) and Sir Robert Bayntun (1439-1473). This website uses the family line stated in the King’s grant of the inheritance of Richard Beauchamp to his cousin John Baynton in 1511. This grant specifically says John Baynton was son of Robert, son of John, son John Martin (Jan 2019) Page 4 of 45 A History of Landford in Wiltshire Appendix 3 – Other families connected with the Eyres of Newhouse, Brickworth, Landford and Bramshaw of Joan daughter and coheir of John de la Roche. Richard Beaumont was married to Elizabeth, sister of Joan de la Roche, heiresses of their father Sir John de la Roche. The name BAYNTUN The spelling of the family surname has changed over time. Early records and documents include names such as Thomas de Benton. Variations include de Beinton, Bainton, Bainten and Benton, but the family finally settled on Bayntun in the 17 th century. This spelling has been used throughout this article to avoid confusion. Bromham House When Sir Richard Beauchamp (Lord St Amand) died in 1508 without legitimate issue, the Manor of Bromham Roches was passed to John Bayntun, his first cousin thrice removed. John Bayntun and Richard Beauchamp had common ancestors and the Roche’s blood line came down to the Bayntun family through two separate lines, the daughters and heiresses of John Roche (d. 1401). John Bayntun (1460-1516) was next heir and representative of Joan Roche who had married one of his ancestors. Prior to that, nine generations (from 1328-1508) of the Bayntun family lived at Faulston House in the parish of Bishopstone, 5 miles southwest of Salisbury. However when John Bayntun (1460-1516) inherited the Bromham estates ( Comment – halfway between Devizes and Chippenham), the family then moved to Bromham Hall.

  • Extract of the Survey on Orchard Wyndham, Williton Few Houses Stay

    Extract of the Survey on Orchard Wyndham, Williton Few Houses Stay

    Extract of the survey on Orchard Wyndham, Williton Few houses stay within the same family for 800 hundred years, but Orchard Wyndham is one of them, having been handed down for generations, not always down the male line, but always in the family. The house and garden of Orchard Wyndham are tucked into a ring of low hills inland from the sea at Watchet, with a stream, called Willett, running through the estate. Beyond lie the Brendon Hills, the Quantocks and Exmoor. So well hidden is Orchard Wyndham that it escaped the notice, not only of the marauding Vikings, but the Domesday survey. By that time the land round the present house was well settled, sheltered from the north by a steep bank; on Blackdown, a hill to the south of the house, there are signs of Bronze Age settlement and remains of a Roman fortification. The remains of a Saxon drainage system, hollowed out oak trees rammed together, were found under the Great Hall in the 1960s. Little is known of the history of the garden in the early years, but the land is sheltered and fertile and there is water from the hills; a lake, to the east of the house has an outlet to a stock pond beside the house which is now an attractive feature of the garden. A 13th century garden lay inside a wall south east of the house. The earliest dated record, 1287, shows that the land was owned by the Orchard, or de Horcherd, family who lived there until the 15th century.

    Great Chalfield, Wiltshire: Archaeology and History (Notes for Visitors, Prepared by the Royal Archaeological Institute, 2017)

    Great Chalfield, Wiltshire: archaeology and history (notes for visitors, prepared by the Royal Archaeological Institute, 2017) Great Chalfield manor belonged to a branch of the Percy family in the Middle Ages. One of them probably had the moat dug and the internal stone wall, of which a part survives, built, possibly in the thirteenth century. Its bastions have the remains of arrow-slits, unless those are later romanticizing features. The site would have been defensible, though without a strong tower could hardly have been regarded as a castle; the Percy house was a courtyard, with a tower attached to one range, but its diameter is too small for that to have been much more than a staircase turret. The house went through various owners and other vicissitudes, but was rescued by a Wiltshire business-man, who employed W. H. Brakspear as architect (see Paul Jack’s contribution, below). It is now owned by the National Trust (plan reproduced with permission of NT Images). Security rather than impregnability is likely to have been the intention of Thomas Tropenell, the builder of most of the surviving house. He was a local man and a lawyer who acquired the estate seemingly on a lease, and subsequently and after much litigation by purchase, during the late 1420s/60s (Driver 2000). In the house is the large and impressive cartulary that documents these struggles, which are typical of the inter- and intra-family feuding that characterized the fifteenth century, even below the level of royal battles and hollow crowns. Tropenell was adviser to Lord Hungerford, the dominant local baron; he was not therefore going to build anything that looked like a castle to challenge nearby Farleigh.

    Wiltshire's Fun Facts • Did You Know Another Series of Poldark Is Being

    Wiltshire’s Fun Facts Did you know another series of Poldark is being filmed this year at Great Chalfield Manor? Other filming includes The White Princess in Lacock and Bradford on Avon and Transformers at Stonehenge. Look out for Wiltshire on your TV/Cinema in 2017! Did you know that Wiltshire has a Grade II Listed Sticke tennis court at Hartham Park, Corsham? Did you know that the Wiltshire Cycleway, Regional Route 20, is 160 miles and takes in some of the county’s most spectacular scenery? It’s best to do in an anti-clockwise direction. There are also two National Cycle Routes passing through South Wiltshire, Numbers 24 and 45. In Cricklade, just off the high street, there is a sign that says “In 1832 on this spot nothing happened!” Wiltshire has some strange named places; Lover (pronounced Lowver), which is famous for its visits by romantics near Valentine’s Day; New Zealand which can be found just off the A3102 south of Lyneham; and Tiddleywink, which is situated just outside Castle Combe. The Kennet & Avon Canal is a total of 87 miles and links London with the Bristol Channel. The Caen Hill Locks are a flight of 29 locks between Rowde and Devizes with a rise of 1 in 44 gradient or 237 feet in 2 miles. Did you know that Salisbury (in 2012) and Chippenham (in 2016) have been awarded purple flag status, meaning that they offer a ‘gold standard’ night life with lower crime and anti-social behaviour? Did you know that Stonehenge attracts over 1.3m people of year? The massive sarsen stones came from Marlborough, 20 miles away, the smaller bluestones from the Preseli Mountains of South Wales, a distance of almost 200 miles.
